Hello,
I've been trying to come up with a macro that will identify a heading based on a particular style, and then delete everything under that heading (including any sub-headings and their contents). I can get to where I find the heading that I want, and I can delete it, but not the following contents under it.
Thank you for any help!!

Hello,
It's currently looking based on a style. So if it finds a style called "Int Heading 2", it should delete everything until it finds another "Int Heading 2" or a "Int Heading 1" (basically, the current level heading or greater).
To put it another way:
1 Chapter on XYZ
1.1 Sub-chapter of XYZ
1.1.1 Another sub-chapter
1.2 Sub-chapter of XYZ
2 Chapter on ABC
Let's say 1.1 had a specific chapter heading style "Int Heading 2", while the other headings just have the regular style "Heading #". I would then want to delete all of 1.1, including 1.1.1, but not 1.2. Unless of course that 1.2 also had the "Int Heading #" style.
Here's my starting point (leveraged from old code), and I can't figure out how to expand it to search for the next heading of a <= level and delete everything in between:
With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Int Heading 2")
Text = ""
With .Replacement
.ClearFormatting
.Text = ""
End With
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
I'm a newbie with VBA, so help is definitely appreciated!!
